Quoted from cincyITguy:

I have a new to me Fire!, and the fireplug won't stay down. I thought it was just that the spring was missing, but I replaced it, and it still doesn't work. I don't understand how the mech is supposed to work. When guide pin is on the right side, the raising or lowering plug just keeps it on the right side. Never flips over to the left side. If I start it on the left side, it ends up on the right, and stays there. I saw some old theads on this, but nothing recently. Is there a new known fix for this, replacement parts, or I'm stuck?
Thanks for any help.

You'll probably need to replace the cam and maybe the springs. The plastic wears on the cams grooves, and unfortunately the only fix is to replace the part
